I am doing a auto to manual swap on a 1995 civic dx 2dr with a d15b vtec, I am using the 5 speed t-bracket. Do i need to change the rear mount that attaches to the t-bracket? My 5 speed conversion mount for the top works prefect, Just stuck on the rear bracket now.

 

na your good as long as you have the upper trans mount the back mount will lne right up.

 

well it dont line up... so i will see what the manual bracket does for it.

 

Auto and manual '92 - '95 D-series T brackets are the same. The rear mount itself is different, it bolts up the same, but the automatic version is significantly weaker.

 

the manual t-bracket is smaller then the auto t-bracket, the manual mount sit's forward more.

 

No it isn't. The T bracket is identical, right down to the part number, 50827-SR3-010 for both. Believe me, i've done a couple of auto to manual swaps on '92 - '95 civics and that T-bracket is the same.

The mount sits the same, I ran an automatic rear mount for years until I finally replaced it with a new one, I caompared them when I changed it, they fit the same, but the manual mount has less rubber in it, part numbers are shown below:

50810-SR3-030 INSULATOR, RR. ENGINE MOUNTINGRUBBER (MT)
50810-SR3-983 INSULATOR, RR. ENGINE MOUNTINGRUBBER (AT)

 

sooo i can use the AT T-bracket and mount when i swap my tranny this weekend?

 

If its a '92 - '95 you can, although if you can afford it i'd buy a 5 speed rear mount, they're a lot stronger and the engine wont rock nearly as bad.

 

Ok, The t-bracket (part no: 50827-SR3-010) is the same for a 92-95 honda civic. The manual rear mount sits up higher and leans forward more then the auto rear mount does, i just compared them today on my swap. The AT rear mount would not work, We had to use the manual rear mount with the auto t-bracket. I found out today that we were trying to use a 96-00 manual t-bracket. Which is different form the 92-95 t-bracket. That's what my confusion was. All sorted now and the car runs smooth.
